Property details
The Shady Oak is a large, well-appointed, community pub located in the leafy Stockport Suburb of Bramhall. Although slightly hidden away the pub benefits from being situated in the heart of the Redford Estate and is surrounded by chimney pots. Stockport is an industrial town in Greater Manchester, England, 7 miles southeast of Manchester 9 miles southwest of Ashton-under-Lyne, and 12 miles north of Macclesfield.
The main entrance to the pub is off the car park, through central double doors. Once in the pub, there are a number of clearly defined zones that welcome a variety of clientele. To the left-hand side is a popular snug area that is enjoyed by small groups and couples catching up during the day over a coffee and a light bite or after work with a tipple. Just past this is an area designed for dining for about 20 covers, with a mixture of high- and low-level seating. The bar is central and U-shaped, allowing for visibility of all daytime trading areas. At the rear of the pub is the sports area which house both a pool table and darts board, both of which are very popular with the local teatime trade. To the right-hand side of the entrance, there is an elevated open space which can cater for approx. 50 covers this can be used during busy dining times such as Sunday lunch or works well for functions. Off the function room is a sunroom which can also be used to host smaller functions. The catering kitchen is a substantial size and is well equipped.
Externally the pub has a well-presented beer garden. It’s known in the area as a sun trap and gets very busy on sunny days. There is also a children’s play area. The pub has a large car park which is shared with the retail unit.
The private accommodation is of a good size and consists of three bedrooms, a bathroom, lounge, kitchen, and office.

Trading style
The pub is a community pub that offers something for everyone, from sports teams to cask ale fans to families enjoying the beer garden, and everything in between. The pub should have a simple menu with a strong focus on home-cooked meals, using local suppliers where possible to deliver the sustainability and provenance that diners now expect. It should trade on an 80/20 wet/dry split. It should also have a premium drinks range that caters to the various occasions on which customers use the pub.
The retail offer should be consistent, with customer service and standards always being the number one priority. A strong rhythm of the week needs to be introduced to ensure there is always a reason to visit and this needs to be marketed in a professional way.
The landlords are ideally looking for a couple with one focusing on the kitchen and back of house and the other focussing on the front of house and showing good marketing skills across various platforms.
The Shady Oak should be the go-to community pub for everyone on the surrounding estate. It should offer quality, home-cooked food along with well-kept ales and a good range of wines and spirits. It should be the go-to place for when customers want to catch up with friends, celebrate occasions or simply enjoy a meal without having to do the washing up!
